2021 Roxboro Sharks / deadline for next meet entries is May 30
Happy Memorial Day Weekend Sharks!
Entry deadline is midnight, Sunday May 30 for our next meet at Chastain Park on Thursday June 3. Please do not delay, sign up your swimmers now to swim the meet at Chastain Park. Please note that swimmers unable to swim the full length of the pool are ineligible to swim this meet. We will not be able to add swimmers after the entry deadline for this meet. Arrive at 4:30pm, warm up at 5:00pm, meet starts at 5:30pm.
We are still waiting for Chastain Park to advise their most current covid protocols and restrictions (if any). They are directed by City of Atlanta and they hope to have this information by June 1. Go ahead and sign up for a volunteer job but please be flexible as our Volunteer Coordinators may have to re-assign your job based on the Chastain Park restrictions and needs. Remember our simple request, if your swimmer is in the meet, we expect you to volunteer. Thank you.
New to swim meets? Katy Barnes is offering a "Swim Meet 101" training on Wednesday June 2 at 8:30am. This will really be focused on how to effectively run a bull pen at a swim meet. No rsvp needed. Katy will meet you on the sidewalk area closest to the sports court and playground.
Many of you have asked about results from our meet last week. Due to the fact that Huntley Hills is a yards pool and we are a meter pool, some additional work had to be done to merge the results. The files are now at the league office and we hope to have those results by today or tomorrow. It is our goal to have the ribbons printed and labeled in time for distribution this week. I will keep you all posted.
2021 Roxboro Sharks swimmer t-shirts for every swimmer. I was really lucky and ordered just enough overage to get a t-shirt for every registered swimmer. Those registered after April 15 may not get your exact size desired, but I do have one for everyone. Please do your best to pick those up from me this week. I also have a few swim suits that have not yet been picked up. I will have those this week as well.
